G - Letter G - The seventh letter in the English alphabet. "In Greek, Chaldean, Syriac, Hebrew, Assyrian, Samaritan, Etrurian, Coptic, in the modern Romaic and Gothic, it occupies the third place in the alphabet, while in Cyrillic, Glagolitic, Croat, Russian, Servian and Wallachian, it stands fourth."

As the name of "god" begins with this letter (in Syriac, gad; Swedish, gud: German, gott; English, god; Persian, gada, etc., etc.), there is an occult reason for this which only the students of esoteric philosophy and of the Secret Doctrine, explained esoterically, will understand thoroughly; it refers to the three logoi - the last,the Elohim, and the emanation of the latter, the androgynous Adam Kadmon.

All these peoples have derived the name of "god" from their respective traditions, the more or less clear echoes of the esoteric tradition. Spoken and "Silent Speech" (writing) are a "gift of the gods", say all the national traditions, from the old Aryan Sanskrit-speaking people who claim that their alphabet, the Devanagari (lit., the language of the devas or gods) was given to them from heaven, down to the Jews, who speak of an alphabet, the parent of the one which has survived, as having been a celestial and mystical symbolism given by the angels to the patriarchs. Hence, every letter had its manifold meaning.

A symbol itself of a celestial being and objects, it was in its turn represented on earth by like corresponding objects whose form symbolised the shape of the letter.

The present letter, called in Hebrew gimel and symbolised by a long camel’s neck, or rather a serpent erect, is associated with the third sacred divine name, Ghadol or Magnus (great). Its numeral is four, the Tetragrammaton and the sacred Tetraktys; hence its sacredness. With other people it stood for 400 and with a dash over it, for 400,000.

Mudhras:

(Hasta) Mudhras: Hand-gestures.

 Seven Mudhras of Sathya Sai Baba:

1. First is the Abhaya Mudhra. It is the gesture of the raised right hand allaying fear and assuring protection to the devotees.

2. Second is the Varadha Mudhra. It is the downward pointed right palm bestowing gifts and boons to the devotees.

3. Third is the Anugraha Mudhra. It is the gesture of raising both hands indicating blessings for the progress and welfare of the mass of devotees. It may also be called 'Yoga Kshema Mudhra'.

4. Fourth is the Srujana Mudhra. It is the gesture of the circular waving of the right palm pointed downwards for materialising spiritually charged articles (e.g. sacred ash).

5. Fifth is the Thirodhana Mudhra. It is the gesture of circling the right palm in an outward direction driving away impurities or negativity in the surroundings. Alternatively, it may imply the dematerialization of articles created.

6. Sixth is the Shakthipatha Mudhra. It is the gesture of placing the right palm on top of the head of a devotee for the descent or activation of his spiritual energy.

7. Seventh is the Tharjani Mudhra. It is the gesture of writing in the air with the index finger, or holding up the hand with fingers extended. This may indicate communication with extra terrestrial forces. The significance of these mudhras is that they are for the welfare of the devotees. The descent of an Avathar is always for the enhancement of the spiritual life of people and for the promotion of the practice of Dharma (right conduct).
